Ok so here it is, you ever have one of those days that just are great... I had an issue with my long time lover Belle, she just turned 52 this year, and was not feeling herself. So she got pissed at me and locked up...just would not budge. I could not get her spinning in anything but 2nd. So it ruined my week...but alas. I found a perfect trans in the back of a parts 53 chevy I went to look at, and scored it for a great price. My friend that owns a local shop installed it as a rush job for me...took him 2 hours. I was impressed. He got the car at noon...I had it back by 3pm... SO here I am rolling down the road, no wipers in the pouring rain, no windows on the side to stop the down pour...smiling ear to ear...like a kid on xmas... It feels good sometimes to just be happy over the small things...
I know what you mean. I got to drive my 52 again last night for the first time in almost a month. I felt like my whole demeanor had changed from hardly being able to breathe and getting pissed off at EVERYTHING to one of real contentedness. Dig.
